Metaplanet President Simon Gerovich says the purchase was made at an average price of $113,491 per bitcoin, per the company.
The latest acquisition is part of Metaplanet’s ongoing bitcoin accumulation strategy, which began in April 2024.
The firm now ranks seventh globally among public companies holding bitcoin reserves.
Metaplanet receives FTSE Japan Index Recognition
Metaplanet was added to the FTSE Japan Index as part of the index provider’s September 2025 review.
The company was upgraded from small-cap to mid-cap status.
Gerovich described the milestone as “another important step” in the firm’s journey.
The inclusion in the prestigious index reflects Metaplanet’s growing influence in Japan’s financial markets and its focus on bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
Metaplanet’s Market Performance
Metaplanet’s stock saw a modest uptick of approximately 3.5% during midday trading on Monday in Japan.
Despite a 26.9% decline over the past month, the company’s stock has surged 147.9% year-to-date.
Many attribute this to rising investor interest in bitcoin-related firms.
Meanwhile, bitcoin itself experienced a slight downturn, trading at $113,148 late Sunday night, down 1.5% over the past 24 hours.
Metaplanet’s continued investment in bitcoin aligns with a growing trend among corporations globally to diversify their treasuries with digital assets. It also signals Asia‘s readiness for crypto and blockchain revolution.
